Everlasting Classics

Imagine classic Czech Marionette. Perfectly balanced, easy to play with puppet, original artwork hand carved from a lime wood. You can bang with your toy while playing, and it’s not going to get wrecked. It’s actually the other way around! More emotions you give into your puppet, more special it becomes and it will be written in its face for the rest of the life.
This collection is put together from such a classic characters like Pinocchio or Jester. But these rascals are not the only ’’jokers’’ in this group. You can meet Pierrot and Fritz, which became the best friends. They are such a mates, that they even wear similar outfits…and they love to prank people. So watch out! But the most funny guy is Amadeus. Musical genius with the loudest laugh you’ve ever heard…seriously!

They say that every marionette artist is creating the marionettes according to his own appearance. It’s not any different with Jaroslav Slavík. Chubby nose, friendly eyes and the hands of the artist. They share all these attributes together. Mr. Slavík wasn’t a wood carved from everlasting. He started his career as an engine driver and continued as a miner. And that was his last profession. He got injured in the mine and couldn’t do any physically demanding job anymore, so he started carving marionettes, because it was his hobby even before. First marionette he made was sold immediately and it’s no wonder why. These pieces of art are very special. This artist is fascinated by mathematics. It’s a real skill to be able to balance the puppet, find the centre of gravity and attach the strings in a perfect way.close
